About​ ​ Us

We are an energy services company, which provides affordable and reliable energy to low-income people in rural villages not connected to the power grid.

We provides our energy services to people in rural villages who don’t have the lumped amount to buy a solar home system.

Our customers save up to 30% on their energy expenditure and receive higher quality and reliability thanks to our smart solar micro-grids.

The service is based on village-sized smart energy grids, which provide solar power to households and small businesses; it allows the users to connect lights and appliances such as radios, TVs and refrigerators.

Thanks to the innovative proprietary technology used in its smart micro-grid, we are able to provide a wide range of
services, while keeping the investment per connection very low, resulting in an attractive return on investment (ROI).

The key feature of the system is an energy meter that powers the household or business with a pre-paid pay-per-use approach, where customers top up their credit by using a mobile money platform, such as Vodacom M-Pesa, or directly at a local shop.

We are a fast growing, high potential venture business run by a strong team of experienced professionals. We seek an entrepreneurial minded, highly talented individual to join our team in Tanzania.
